Question

What is more important in this election: morality issues or economic issues?

Answer 1

Is the guy with the ***** for morals aware of Palin's daughter?

Answer 2

Morality deeply affects the economy. America cannot compete in the global economy if the workers are raised in an immoral environment.

75% of all welfare goes to single parent households. And AIDS would pretty much be non-existent if there was good morality in the U.S..

Every 35 seconds a child is born out wedlock. Children raised in single family homes usually don't benefit the country as much as children raised in two parent households. The single parent children are also more likely to dropout of school, use drugs, and go to prison. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Welfare...

Currently, 1 in 10 high shools in America are "dropout factories" where most students never reach their senior year.

(The U.S. spends more per student than almost all countries in the world . http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/fed/10f... )

With more underachievers  then more social programs are required. Social progams have been proven to slow economic growth by reducing innovation. Democrats' social programs have dropped the U.S. down to around number 10 on the GDP per person list. The U.K. is already down to number 28 because of all their social handouts ( https://www.cia.gov/library/publications... ).

"Children raised without a father in the home are more likely to experience: emotional and behavioral problems, school failure; drug and alcohol abuse, crime, and incarceration.The beneficial effects of marriage on individuals and society are beyond reasonable dispute, and there is a broad and growing consensus that government policy should promote rather than discourage healthy marriage."

Answer 3

Economic.  People have a right to their own beliefs and morals, and if someone tries to control that, then we might as well go back in time 70 years.  We live in a free country where morality is subjective.

Answer 4

Always economic. Personally I could care less about moral issues.  

Answer 5

The government  and the president  has very little if any effect on  the cultural and moral values of people.  For example, all measures of moral behavior  got worse under Reagan and improved under Clinton when looking  at their speeches and behavior you would expect the reverse. Prohibition did not produce a better country  but  produced  organized crime and criminal activity of all kinds.

I think one should aways vote economic issues  because that is what  is  the business of government, and let institutions that that are good at promoting values take care of our morals.

Answer 6

Well they are both important but maybe I dont mean that exactly how you do.  Im not concerned about g*y marriage, and abortion isnt atthe top of my list either.

But I consider fiscal responsibility, integrity, etc... as have a moral component to them.  

I

Answer 7

The economy. It is not the business of the law to make anyone good or reverent or moral or clean or upright.

The law should be there to protect people from coercion and promote individual liberty.  One of the greatest advancement in the Western civilization is that people are to pursue their own goals, within their sphere, as long as they do not infringe on the liberty of others.

It is not up to the government to legislate what is moral, good, or reverent. It is too protect and maximize life, liberty, and property.  If an individual want to be morally upright, then it is their responsibility, not the governments.

Answer 8

Economic

Answer 9

The answer is both. I will vote for "Economic Morality", every time. It's immoral to raise taxes and slow an economy, put people out of work, rape their life savings, increase prices. It's immoral not to fight evil people and political regimes who attack and murder innocent people. Defending the shores makes excellent economic sense because if the war comes to the USA, we will be spending far more. It always makes excellent economic sense to do the right thing, rather than repair damages. If you pay for anything, you will get more of it.Paying girls to have children out of wedlock makes no sense. What happens after is more poverty and crime. Clearly, with a 70% fatherless rate in some inner cities, and crime soaring, it has become abundantly clear it's immoral as well as making poor economic sense to fund unwed mothers. The list goes on and on. Clearly, in every sense and instance, increasing morality makes economic sense

Answer 10

To the liberals at this point as they are losing on REAL issues as Obama has slipped 11 points in 3 weeks into a tie and is sinking fast, they are now hammering on conjecture, rumor, and what they see as "moral" issues.  Palins pregnant teenage daughter, who has the nerve to HAVE her baby and get married rather then getting it ripped from her and MURDERED in an abortion...combine that with a political witch hunt looking into "abuse of power".  Odd how they keep overlooking the approval ratings of her in her State of 90% as she fought the old political machine there and instituted REAL change..not just lip service.

Answer 11

economic!

What does morality have to do with anything? Palin's DAUGHTER got pregnant. The mother didn't do anything wrong/

Answer 12

If you have to choose, it's economic. However, it seems to me we should be able to have both.
